Will be running a 2.7 with Webers in my 914/6 and am looking at 1 5/8" O.D. headers available. Does anyone have comparison experience between those offered by Bursch, Patrick Motorsports and GT Racing. Does it matter which muffler you use with any of these?...my thoughts was to use a 2 in 3 out sport muffler...single outlet for street use and cap off the single outlet and use the dual outlet for track.

The Martin Schnieder pieces look very nice, I'll have to check on getting those.
I've been selling nothing but European Racing Headers for the past five years, or the B&B stainless headers with heat. I aways get them with the street adapters. If you want more peformance and loudness you can always get the ERH's megaphones, which bolt up to the headers in place of the muffler and street adapters. Don't get me started on Bursch (pronounced (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) ). In the scope of a conversion project you can probably cough up the extra $100 it costs to get a quality header system. As far as mufflers, I've had great results with the Dansk. It's hard to beat the factory style mufflers for sound and performance, there's a reason Porsche made them like that! If you don't plan to drive the car for more than 30 minutes at a time, you might be OK with a dual outlet, as those things are loud and get anoying on long trips. Some of the dual outlet mufflers have bad resonance. I'm a former northern IL'er. Grew up in the Elgin area. Every time I go back, I can't believe how fast things change. I remember going to Chicago as a kid, and driving through quite a bit of farmland before you hit the suburbs. Now everything east of Elgin is almost totally populated, and you've got to drive west to find any farmland. Miss the cosmopolitan stuff you can get, see, and do in Chicago, but don't miss all the congestion. |
